General Electric Microwave Diode Or Rectifier

The Diode Assembly is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It plays a crucial role in converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), which is essential for the microwave’s high-voltage functions, including powering the magnetron to generate microwave energy.

Over time, diodes can fail due to electrical surges, excessive heat, or wear and tear. A faulty diode assembly can lead to inefficient or non-functional microwave operation, impacting its ability to heat food properly.

Symptoms of a bad diode assembly include:

• Microwave not heating food
• Sparking or arcing inside the microwave
• Burning smell or unusual noises during operation
• Microwave turning on but failing to generate heat

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The High Voltage Diode is an OEM part for GE microwaves. This high-voltage diode is crucial for converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), enabling the magnetron to generate the microwave energy needed for cooking. Measuring approximately 3-1/2" in length, this diode features a banded side with a #8 ring terminal and a non-banded side with a 1/4" female quick connect.

You should replace the diode-H.V assembly if it becomes faulty due to electrical issues, wear and tear, or physical damage. Continuous exposure to high voltage can cause the diode to deteriorate over time, leading to malfunction.

Symptoms of a bad diode-H.V assembly include:

• The microwave not heating food
• A burning smell or unusual noises during operation
• The microwave shutting off unexpectedly
• Visible damage or burn marks on the diode

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This high-voltage rectifier diode is used in the microwave's high-voltage circuit. It converts AC to DC so the magnetron can produce heat. A failed diode can cause no heat, loud humming, or a blown fuse when starting. What it does:

• Rectifies high-voltage AC to DC to power the magnetron
• Blocks reverse voltage in the HV circuit
• Common failure symptoms can include: runs but doesn't heat; loud hum then shutdown; line fuse blows at startup

• 1 high-voltage diode

• Unplug the microwave and properly discharge the high-voltage capacitor before servicing—dangerous voltage can remain even when unplugged
• Match diode orientation/polarity to the original and ensure a solid chassis ground connection where used
• Route leads and reinstall any clamps/insulators exactly as found; keep wiring clear of sharp edges and hot components
• If the original diode failed, inspect the HV capacitor and transformer for related issues before reassembly

This high-voltage diode assembly is part of the microwave's HV circuit. It converts the transformer's high-voltage AC to DC, enabling the magnetron to generate microwave energy so your unit can heat food properly.

• Rectifies high-voltage AC to DC in the microwave's high-voltage network
• Works with the HV transformer and capacitor to power the magnetron
• Failure may cause "runs but doesn't heat"
• Other possible signs include a loud hum during cook or a blown internal fuse at start-up

• Unplug the microwave; the HV capacitor can hold a dangerous charge—discharge it properly before servicing
• Observe diode polarity/orientation and install in the same direction as the original
• Ensure secure, insulated connections and proper routing away from sharp edges

The High Voltage Diode is an OEM replacement part for GE microwaves. It converts the high voltage of the microwave's power supply into a lower voltage suitable for the magnetron. It acts as a one-way valve for electrical current, allowing it to flow in one direction while preventing it from flowing back in the opposite direction.

Symptoms of a faulty high voltage diode include:

• No power or complete loss of power to the microwave
• Inconsistent or inadequate heating performance
• Unusual electrical smells during operation

A bad high voltage diode can occur due to electrical malfunctions, power surges, or excessive heat exposure. If you notice issues such as no power, uneven heating, or unusual electrical smells coming from the microwave, it may be time to replace the old or damaged high voltage diode with this genuine OEM part.

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
 

This high-voltage diode assembly converts the microwave's high-voltage AC to DC for the magnetron so the oven can heat food. Durable replacement for failed or damaged HV diodes to restore heating performance. What it does

• Converts high-voltage AC to DC for the magnetron to enable proper microwave heating
• Commonly replaced when the oven stops heating or has intermittent heating
• Can fail shorted or open, cause blown high-voltage fuse, or contribute to arcing/noisy operation
• Works with the high-voltage circuit components (magnetron, capacitor, transformer)

• One high-voltage diode assembly

• Disconnect power and allow the appliance to sit before servicing
• The high-voltage capacitor can hold a lethal charge — discharge safely before touching components
• Use insulated tools and follow OEM safety procedures

The Diode Cable Assembly is an OEM part for GE microwaves. This part converts AC power to DC power, which is crucial for the microwave's operation.  

Causes of a bad diode cable assembly can include electrical surges, overheating, or general wear and tear.  

Symptoms of a bad diode cable assembly include:

• Microwave not heating food
• Unusual noises during operation
• Burning smell or visible damage to the cable
• Microwave shutting off unexpectedly

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This high-voltage diode assembly replaces the diode in a microwave high-voltage circuit to help restore normal heating and high-voltage operation. It provides the one-way conduction needed for the magnetron's high-voltage supply. What it does:

• Converts AC to DC in the microwave high-voltage circuit so the magnetron can produce microwaves
• Commonly associated with weak/no heating or intermittent heating
• Can cause blown high-voltage fuses or arcing if failed
• Prevents reverse current from damaging other high-voltage components

• Disconnect power and discharge the high-voltage capacitor before service to avoid serious shock
• Handle carefully; high-voltage components and terminals can retain charge
• Check related high-voltage components (capacitor, transformer, fuse) for damage when diagnosing
